A prayer
Your word is a
light to my path, and since I have placed myself under your hand…I have been
assuming you would feel the need to use me because of my amazingness. Forgive
my arrogance and my pride, for who am I but clay in your hand. Who am I to tell
the potter, when and where you should use me. You are the one who honors me by
using me…if I am not being used in my perceived areas of strength; it is because
I am full of pride. Not only are you not using me, you will oppose me. I have
not clothed myself in humility and I seek your forgiveness again this morning.
I have been chewed on, it is interesting that pride and the enemy's chews are not
far apart from each other. Pride is the
enemies chew toy. I like that …. I can beat myself about this…I think you would
rather me just humble myself and get on with it.
Amen

You have given me something to "chew on" - and it is NOT a toy. Thanks for the thought-provoking blog. As we chew on God's word we do get nutrition and strength to move forward.
Lately I have been using a Warfare Prayer written by Victor Matthews as I enter my day. As I make the declarations and requests in this prayer, I have found more freedom and protection from the chewing of the enemy. ~ lew
And AMEN...
